Jack Went A-Sailing B |

2 She had sweethearts a-plenty, She courted both day and night, Till all on the sailor boy
She placed her heart's delight.
3 Her father heard the callin', So quickly he came in. Good morning, Mrs. Frasier,
Is that your sweetheart's name ?
4 I will lock you in my dungeon, Your body I'll confine,
If there is none but Jacky Frasier That will ever suit your mind.
5 You can lock me in your dungeon, It is hard to be confined,
But there is none but Jacky Frasier That will ever suit my mind.
6 O daughter, O daughter,
If you will quit that boy to-day, I'll pay him forty shillings To bear him far away.
7 She answered him quickly, quickly, I'll quit that boy to-day;
But yet all in her heart She loved her darling still.
